Effect of HNT Content and 3D Printing Parameters on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of PU/HNT Nanocomposites
摘要
This chapter focussed on the influence of both nanofillers and 3D printing parameters on mechanical and thermal properties of 3D printed PU/HNT nanocomposites according to optimum factor-level combinations using Taguchi design of experiments (DoEs) based on L18 orthogonal array. The discussion involved tensile properties, hardness and abrasion resistance of 3D printed nanocomposite samples via fused deposition modelling (FDM). Morphological structures, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were also reported in detail.
